Zachary's poem   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #450 of 550 |
Hello, all. I had a long conversation with Zachary Richard last night:
he was as disgusted as we were that the lyrics to his song weren't in
real French. He sent Jim and me this: these are the words. We were right
about Noah. I changed the color for the words we have. (The accent
hadn't printed on the word "là.")

Also, you will hear from Jim officially, but he was willing to come
early to work with us. I don't know what he and Jim and Denise (froam
Symphony) are going to work out. I'm sure Jim will let you know.

La promesse cassée

Les royautés d’artiste de cette chanson sont dédiées au soutien des
musiciens de la Nouvelle-Orléans sinistrés par l’ouragan de 2005 en
collaboration avec la Fondation S.O.S Musiciens

Où es-tu mon cher ami?
Ça fait des jours et des nuits que je t’attends,
Et les nuits sont longues.

Ici, c’est pitié de voir,
L’aigle aux grandes ailes d’ivoire
Qui tourne, et qui reconnaît plus son monde.

Refrain :
Là sur l’eau, nos vies cassées en mille morceaux,
C’est tout ce qu’il nous reste,
Les milles morceaux de ta promesse.

T’as juré la main sur un livre
Qu’on serait heureux et libre et fier,
Debout sur nos terres.

Mais, on est là sur le trottoir,
Des âmes blanches, des âmes noires,
Qui espèrent dans la même prière.

Bridge :
Noé, emmène- moi,
Aussi loin, que tu pourras. [There shouldn't be a comma after loin, but
I guess it doesn't matter. -ed.]
